Benefit Game Planned
On KUHS Floor Saturday
Marines Tentatively Set to Clash
With Portland Five For Polio Fund
By PAUL HAINES
As this is being written, plans
jre already underway to bring
an outstanding Portland cage
team to Klamath Falls to battle
the Leathernecks of the Marine
Barracks on the hardwood Sat
urday night, with all proceeds
from the fracas going to the
"March of Dimes."
The entire Marine Barracks'
staff has been most cooperative

MARCH OF DIMES
Right now we are sincerely
interested in arranging a cage
tilt, with the cooperation of tne
Marine Barracks, between the
Leatherneck quintet and a suit
able - opponent in conjunction
with the "Marcn jwMssa!
nf Dimes" rro-SNX5
gram in connec
tion with the na
tional infantile
paralysis fund.
Nothing n a s
been definitely
set as yet but
plans are under
way to start the
ball rolling. We
can think of no
other project
nore deserving
of suDDort than
this, and we appreciate greatly
the splendid receptiveness of the
Marine Barracks.
Under our plan, the marine
cagers would play a team wor-
' thy of their mettle in the
Klamath Union high school
gymnasium at an early date,
with all proceeds from the
game going to the paralysis
fund.
Coach Les Israel's boys pre
sent a classy basketball team
that has given the top fives in
this section of the state a run
for their money. In "Red"
Gilbert, the Leathernecks have
one of the smoothest pivotmen
in these parts and Leonard
Burkland is another outstand
ing ball player.
We think that the people of
Klamath Falls would support to
the utmost a game of this type. It
would give them an ODDortunitv
to witness a fine contest and sup
port a truly great cause at the
same time.
So, if things work out as we
hope they will, there will be
an A-I basketball game in
Klamath Falls for an A-l
cause.

Ironmen Bump Stars
In Hockey Tilt, 7-0
By The Associated Press
The Seattle Ironmen remain
ed in the pace position of the
northern - sector, Pacific Coast
Hockey league today after Sun
day night, 7 to 0, but they failed
to gain any ground on the second-place
Portland Eagles.
Portland's challenging six
squelched the Vancouver Van
guards, 9 to 4. Bit Smith and
Manager Shooter of the Vans
were injured during the rough
tussle, at Seattle, but contrast,
only one penalty was dished out
as the Ironmen skated to their
easy triumph.
Chicago Prep Five
Claims Tallest Team
CHICAGO, Jan. 23 (TP) The
high school basketball team in
suburban Riverside puts in its
claim as naving one of the coun
try's tallest preD auintets. The
regulars average about 6 feet
31 inches and the No. 1 substi
tute is 6 feet 4 inches. The tall
est eager, 6 feet 5 J inches. Dlavs
center; the forwards are 6 feet
6 inches and 6 feet 4 inches;
the guards 6 feet 21 inches and
6 feet 1 inch. The team is tops
in west suburban conference
play, undefeated in six games.
in assisting us in arranging this
same and Klamath Union high
school officials have generously
donated the use of the gym
nasium and all its facilities.
The two teams sought for this
encounter with the dauntless
Leathernecks are the Portland
Folice five, one of the classiest
indeDendent clubs in Oregon, or
an outfit composed of Portland
all -stars. Either aggregation
would present an exceptionally
attractive contest for Klamath
basketball fans and we feel that
along with the fact that all pro
ceeds go to the infantile paraly
sis fund, one of the most humane
causes in America, a great crowd
would turn out for the fray.
It is also planned to stage a
preliminary tilt between a com
pany team from the Barracks
and a similar outfit from the
Klamath naval air station, if possible..
Through the splendid coopera
tion of Maior Clvde C. Roberts,
executive officer at the Barracks,
and Capt. William R. Ourand,
post athletic officer, Portland of
ficials were contacted yesterday
and we are now awaiting final
word.
As soon as definite informa
tion is received from official
sources on this proposed benefit
game, we will let you know
so hold on to your hats for an
announcement of a top-notch
game for a top-notch cause!
Williams Heeds
Ref s Warning
Wins on K. O.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23 (fP)
Lightweight Ike Williams, his
stock boosted by last night's
knockout win over Maxie Ber
ger, began concentrating today
on his March 2 rubber bout with
Willie Joyce in Madison Square
Garden.
Joyce, a wily boxer from
Gary, Ind., beat the Trenton
(N. J.) triphammer last Novem
ber by a split decision, ending a
gun of 15 wins for Williams. On
January 8, Williams took a 12
round decision over Joyce.
Berger, former Canadian wel
terweight champ, suffered his
first defeat in 15 bouts last night
when his merry-go-round broke
down in the fourth round of a
scheduled 10-rounder at the
arena. , . '
The crowd of 5451, who paid
$13,859.13, vocally objected to a
lack of action and Referee Char
ley Daggert ordered the boys to
come out fighting in the fourth
round. The fight was ended two
minutes and 51 seconds later by
a left hook by Williams.

Ray Mangrum Fires Blazing
Round to Cop Tucson Open
By FRANK PITMAN
TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 23 (IP)
Lanky Ray Mangrum, 34-year-old
Los Angeles golfer, whisked
over the last 36 holes of the
$5000 Tucson Open Sunday
with brilliant subpar rounds of
66 and 64 for his first import
ant victory since he won the Mi
ami, Fla., Open in 1937.
His 72-hole score was 268 12
under par.
"Those were the best two com
petitive rounds I've had since I
started golfing 17 years ago," de
clared the Southern California
Open champion. He pocketed a
$1000 first prize.
Faultless Byron ' Nelson, Tole
do, Ohio, master shotmaker,
came in a stroke behind Man
grum after losing a chance for a
tie by driving a ball out of
bounds on the 513-yard last hole.
Jim Gaunit, Ardmore, Okla.,
newcomer to the ranks of the
traveling professionals, sur
prised everyone with a 271,
three behind Mangrum for third
spot. Harold McSpaden, San
ford, Maine, finished in fourth
place with a 272 after leading at
the halfway point with 134.

"Work or Fight" Edict
Hits Baseball Hardest
CHICAGO, Jan. 23 (IP) War
department and war manpower
commission orders may put a
crimp in plans for professional
and intercollegiate sports to
operate during the next year, but
the men at the head of things
aren't too badly worried.
"If suspension of professional
sports will hasten V-Day by even
an hour, we will gladly suspend
our schedule," a representative
of the National Football league,
oldest pro grid loop in the na
tion, said.
"We don't want to continue
hockey if there is any interfer
ence with the war effort," Bill
Tobin, president of the Chicago
Blackhawks of the National
Hockey league, said when asked
what his opinion was concerning
continuance of sports during the
war.
-Representatives of the West
ern conference, biggest intercol
legiate group in the midwest,
echoed the same sentiment. .
"If we have men to play who
are either too young or ineligible
for service duty we will contin
ue," a spokesman for the West
ern conference said. "If we don't
have the players for football and
basketball we just won't have
teams. We don't intend to let
any program we may have in
terfere with efforts to get this
war over as quickly as possible."
While professional football
and major league baseball had
plenty of worries over the re
cent "work or fight" directive
from Washington, National
league hockey had a real head
ache over an edict from the
Canadian government. Selective
service offices in Canada told the
officials of the league that no
further exit permits would be is
sued to discharged servicemen
unless they had served overseas.
A majority of the hockey "play
ers in the league are Canadians,
and play games in the United
States on exit permits.
The work or fight order hit
baseball hardest. Baseball play
ers have a game almost every
day, and cannot, because of their
schedules, take war plant jobs.
While they may work in essen
tial jobs during the wintertime,
their extensive travel during al
most seven months of the year
precludes that possibility during
their training season and the
league schedule.
Most professional football
players, however, who have but
one game a week, work in war
plants, and the majority of them
either are classified 4-F, or are
discharged veterans. There are
few 1-A classifications on Nation
al Football league rosters.

Lillard will match Gloomy

W. Henrv Johnston, vice pres

the association's 439 members
would launch an all-out effort

"With the closing of the coun

Johnston said, "Wo feel thnt the

objective of the syndicate men.
We intend to do all we enn to

First step in the campaign,
he said, would be the removal
of nil doubtful persons from
